The pacer’s prolific spell saw him generate considerable bounce from the track, earning him the wickets of openers David Warner and Matt Renshaw. He also claimed the scalp of Nathan Lyon later in the day.

“When I was batting, I received two-three bouncers. After going back (to the dressing room), I decided that I would show them I can bowl bouncers too. At the same time, I had to make sure that I kept control while being aggressive,” said Yadav.

Bhuvneshwar himself revealed that he bowled a bouncer early in Australia’s innings to David Warner because he wanted to have a go at the opener for a taunt he had made during India’s innings.
